dont try removing the steering wheel as the airbag will cause this to be a problem , adjust the tracking until the wheel is in the position you want , make sure you adjust the track rods equally on each side , this is a little bit of trial and error if your doing it your self ,
If the clunking sound is heard when the steering wheel is turned regardless of if the car is standing still or moving, then the bearing on top of the spring is stuck or damaged. A good way to find out what's making a noise is to put a screwdriver to it and place your ear to the screwdriver. In this case it will probably even suffice to just put a finger on the spring and you'll feel the clunks as someone turns the steering wheel for you. Just watch your arms and fingers, though!
usually you need to put a little pressure on the steering wheel turning it one way or the other while you try turning the key until the lock releases this often happpens if the wheels are turned when you shut the car off but can happen at any time
most cars have a steering lock that engages when you turn off the car. If you try wiggling the wheel while you turn the key, that might free up your steering. If just wiggling it a little does not work, try pulling it one way and turning the key, giving it a little force turning the wheel (sometimes the wheel locking mechanism gets stuck) ... if it still doesn't work, try turning the wheel the other way and turning the key. If you are still locked up .. you'll probably need to see a mechanic about it. Hopefully the wheel lock is just a little stuck and you can free it up yourself -- it's free that way :-)
it may not be the fuse,. it may be a broken wire in the steering wheel or a bad ground at the horn,. try the easiest fisrt - chase the wire from the horn- test it with a voltage tester or test light to be sure you have power where you need it.. Best regards Ck
The clock spring is located under the steering wheel, the airbag must be disarmed (if not done correctly can can serious injury) and the steering wheel removed to replace it, a dealer will charge about $200 for this repair.
hey guys with problems with the air bag lights on and horn not working in Chrysler Voyager...
this is the problem with the steering wheel clockwork spring. The connector that brings the wires from the steering wheel instruments (hord, airbag, cruise control) and takes it through the steering column to the car body but allows steering wheel to rotate without breaking the wires. The dealer should have adivised you that there is a life long warrantly from manufacturer of this part. There was a recall notice issued by Chrysler in 2003/4 to bring in car for replacement of part if the Airbag light came on. I got mine done last year under the recall.
